nMany Children and Blessings

nThe small Happiness Temple had become a famous big temple because the imperial preceptor would come every year and sign a lot of papers.

n“Master, can you help my daughter-in-law take a look at what’s written on this fortune? Will my daughter-in-law be able to get pregnant this year? This daughter-in-law has been married into the family for a year, but she hasn’t gotten pregnant. And how will my second son’s marriage go? Will he be able to get married successfully?” Yang Fen also made a fortune stick and then pulled Zheng Rong to sit down, hoping to get an answer from the old monk. Zheng Rong held the fortune stick that she had just asked for and handed it to the old monk with a red face.

nThe old monk took the fortune stick and took a closer look at Zheng Rong’s appearance. In fact, Zheng Rong had the typical appearance of a childless woman. She even looked like a middle-aged widow who had no one to send her off. However, what the old monk did not know was that everything in the Jiang family had changed since Jiang Xi’s third hanging.

nAccording to the Jiang family’s original fate, although the original owner of the body did not die from the third hanging, she became crazy. Then, she happened to be provoked by Yang Kun’s wedding and was kicked out of the Yang family by Yang Kun after causing a scene at his wedding. In order to seek justice for his daughter, the original owner’s father, Jiang Guoyou, went to the Yang family to demand an explanation. In the end, he was scolded back by Yang Shaoqun. Then, Yang Shaoqun and the old butler of the Zhao family’s courtyard worked together to trip Jiang Guoyou, causing him to break his leg and become disabled. After that, all the heavy responsibilities of the Jiang family fell on Jiang Da, causing him to become ill from overwork at a young age and die of exhaustion without leaving behind any children. As such, Zheng Rong would never have any children in her life.

nHowever, at this moment, the fortune stick in Zheng Rong’s hand, and her appearance had changed. There were faint signs that her fate was about to change. The old monk’s dark eyebrows relaxed. He was certain that Zheng Rong would be pregnant in less than half a year and she would have more than one child! When the old monk saw this, he could not help but reveal a horrified expression. He asked Zheng Rong, “Did … Did anything strange happen in your family today? Or did something that ordinary people can’t do happen?”

nYang Fen did not know why the old monk asked this, so she said with a worried face, “Master, is there something wrong with my daughter-in-law? Is she unable to have children? Then wouldn’t my eldest son be without descendants?”

n“No, don’t worry. Your daughter-in-law is destined to have a child. Rest well and take care of your body. A Child-endowing Goddess will naturally come.” The old monk quickly consoled Yang Fen. The old monk was not speaking nonsense about the so-called Child-endowing Goddess. After all, Zheng Rong was destined to be childless. Now that she suddenly had a child, it was a gift from someone else, right? However, what made the old monk curious was, who was the person who defied the heavens and changed Zheng Rong’s fate of not having a child, making her look like she had many children and many blessings?

nWhen Yang Fen heard the old monk’s words, she was overjoyed. She turned around and looked at Zheng Rong with a much gentler gaze. Now, only the eldest son of the Jiang family, Jiang Da, had married a wife. If the wife he married was infertile, Yang Fen would probably die of anger. Zheng Rong was also overjoyed. Just as she was about to reply to the old monk and tell him that her younger sister, Jiang Xi, had hung herself three times but still managed to survive, Yang Fen changed the topic.

nYang Fen pulled Jiang Er over and asked eagerly, “Then, master, can you come and take a look at my second son and see if his marriage will go smoothly?” Jiang Er looked at the old monk expectantly and clenched his fists nervously. However, the old monk frowned. With a quick glance, he could tell that Jiang Er was not a kind person. He was a selfish person and had no tolerance for others. He thought for a while and said, “This Young Master’s marriage is not in a hurry. It’s just that fate hasn’t arrived yet. Don’t be too hasty, everything has its own fate.” The old monk reminded him as he held the Fortune stick in his hand. Jiang Er was obviously an impatient person. If they were to force a marriage, even a good relationship would turn into an ill-fated one. This person’s thoughts were not pure. If they were to force a marriage, there would be problems.

nHearing the old monk’s words, Yang Fen’s expression turned dark. Jiang Er’s face also darkened. He pointed at the old monk and scolded, “You old bald donkey, you’re spouting nonsense! Do you think that we’re poor and you can’t earn much from us buying joss sticks, so you’re spouting nonsense?” This old monk actually said that he could not get a wife! He was really infuriated! Just as Jiang Er was about to argue with the old monk, a series of exclamations came from the lot pot. “There’s actually such a strange thing in the world? It was really incredible! How do you solve this?”

n“What’s the matter? Where’s Jiang Xi? Is she still in there?” Yang Fen panicked when she saw this and looked for Jiang Xi everywhere.
